The Gijón City Guides settle what every visitor wonders: which sidrería pours its cider the proper way, where the fish comes straight off the boats, which free museums fill a rainy morning and where the night carries on after dinner. Each place gets the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and the guides open in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
El Recetario de Álex Sampedro
Calle Trinidad, Cimadevilla
A small Bib Gourmand dining room that gives Asturian cooking a lighter, modern turn. Ask for half portions so you can taste more, such as the seafood meatballs or the duck empanadillas. From the food guide.
Playa de Rodiles
Villaviciosa estuary, about 40 min east
A long stretch of sand where the Villaviciosa estuary meets the sea, with a eucalyptus wood behind it for shade and a picnic. Plenty of people call it the best beach in Asturias. From the day trips guide.
Senda del Cervigón
From the Piles river mouth to La Providencia
A paved path along the coast past coves, cliffs and the Nunca Más monument, with the sea beside you the whole way. Walk all of it, about 9 km one way, or just a stretch. It costs nothing. From the budget guide.
Plan your days in Gijón
Day one: free museums in the morning, lunch in a sidrería, sunset on the Cerro de Santa Catalina and then the wine bars around Calle Santa Lucía. Day two: the train to Oviedo or a beach day at Rodiles, back in time for cider and fish by the old port. For a rainy or slow day, mix the aquarium, the railway museum and a weekday menú del día. Most museums close on Monday, so keep that day for the coast.
